M.O. was used once before in @initialsgame 176: Nov. 10, 2017. @Chris_Hawkey won with 6. Microsoft Office was the only incorrect guess in the game, and it was guessed 3 times.

This will be @coachNikoMedved 2nd @InitialsGame Appearance. Like Bill G, he’s back almost exactly one year later — last played Game 598 (Oct 10, 2025). He and @MarneyGellner were shut out that day. @MeatSauce1 won with 4️⃣, while @Chris_Hawkey and @MarkDParrish each scored 3️⃣.

Bill makes his 2nd @InitialsGame appearance Friday! He last played Game 596 (Sept 26, 2025). The jackpot for that game was $100K, and is now at a quarter of million dollars..wait...quarter of a half a million ($125K). Sauce won with 5️⃣, Mark & Marney had 3️⃣, Bill got 1️⃣.

With the Invitational wrapped, here’s the 2026 @InitialsGame snapshot: • @Chris_Hawkey leads the season in wins, up 2 on Sauce and @MarneyGellner • @MeatSauce1 leads in points, up 1 on Hawk • 56 players have competed • 14 different winners so far

The @InitialsGame Invitational Final (Game 648) became just the 15th game ever with 0 incorrect guesses — last done in Game 628 on May 15, 2026. It needed only 42 clues, the fewest in this year’s tournament. Second‑fewest: Game 638 (Quarterfinal #1) with 45 clues.

I say Rick comes back next week to face the regular @InitialsGame players so he can go for 4 straight wins. If he wins that game, the following week have @AjKFAN, @tylertgeorge, @dohyoungpark / @johnkriesel @TomPelissero for the record breaking 5 straight.

Friday: The Final Round of the 2026 @InitialsGame Invitational! For the tourney, Rick (15) has scored the same amount of points as Glen (8) and @ThatsALottaGs (7) combined. Rick will take the lead for most points through three career games, passing @MeatSauce1’s 13.

Tomorrow: @InitialsGame Jackpot is $123,500. Last 5 initials used: 200+ • 200+ • 200+ • 200+ • 100-199 Gold = used within last 100 games Green = used 100–199 games ago White (numbered) = used 200+ games ago

Rick Fields delivered another dominant performance on Friday. Here’s a look at the top combined point totals for players in their first two career @InitialsGame appearances.
